The darkness gathers.
Casting blackness upon me...

Eleven years have shot past my eyes,
grazing my grieving heart...

...
PAW....PAW.........PAW....PAW.........PAW....PAW...

This year has started with a spark of hope
exploding inside my heart...

I like how you make me laugh
even if i don't want to smile...

And they both reached out
to take the last delicious slice...

The saddest thing you will ever see
is a child's heart longing to be free...

I always thought that saying goodbye
would take me forever to write...

I wish I had the poetic words to express
the heart-wrenching pain which is rumbling...

Black eye, swollen cheek,
just another reminder...

Today you might feel happy,
Tomorrow might be sad...

I feel so angry at myself,
Because I never knew...
